Job description

Software Development Engineer, AWS Apache Flink

Job ID: 10453040 | Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc.

Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink (MSF) enables real-time processing of high-volume streaming data in the cloud. We’re looking for a new teammate who is enthusiastic and able to work effectively with a diverse team and who will help us continue to build an inclusive team culture.

Today, real‑time processing from data streams still requires substantial investments from customers in writing stream‑processing applications and maintaining infrastructure. As a member of the team you will be working toward the vision of making the service easy to use, robust and cost‑effective for customers to run their stream‑processing applications. You will be part of a journey from feature inception, iterating on customer feedback, and continuous delivery. You will also have the opportunity to be part of the team developing large‑scale stream‑processing services like Apache Flink and Apache Kafka running on container orchestration platforms. This is a strategic bet for our MAST (Messaging and Streaming team) organization and you will be at the forefront of this effort.

Key Responsibilities

As a Software Development Engineer for Amazon Managed Flink, you’ll work on backend and customer‑facing systems, contributing to the development and improvement of our infrastructure services. You’ll focus on building reliable and scalable solutions, collaborating with other engineers to solve complex technical challenges, and ensuring our services are highly available and scalable to meet the needs of our global customer base.

As a member of the AWS Managed Flink engineering team, your job will allow you to work with customers and other technology leaders at Amazon to translate strategic business needs into features and projects, and participate in strategic planning, contributing to the overall direction of the service.

This position involves on‑call responsibilities. We don’t like being paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault‑tolerant. When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we aren’t paged for the same issue twice.

Basic Qualifications

• 3+ years of non‑internship professional software development experience
• 2+ years of non‑internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
• 1+ years of software development engineer or related occupational experience
• 1+ years of designing and developing large‑scale, multi‑tiered, multi‑threaded, embedded or distributed software applications, tools, systems, and services using C#, C++, Java, or Perl
• 1+ years of Object Oriented Design experience
• Bachelor’s degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
• Experience programming with at least one software programming language

Preferred Qualifications

• 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or equivalent
